Another Lucky Journalist


 William A. Nixon is lucky journalist if ever there was one. Just now he is being congratulated on all sides on his engagement to Miss Agnes N. Dolph, daughter of the millionaire senator from Oregon. The an- nouncement of the engagement is in the na- ture of surprise to most people in Wash ington, for although the young people have been in each others company considerably for several months, no one dreamed of any thing more serious than an agreeable friend ship. The feelings of the young people were of much deeper character, however, and have culminated in a formal request on the part of MT. Nixon that the senator give his consent to their marriage, which of course was given. The courtship started at kir- mess, where Mir. Nixon turned the music while Miss Dolph played accompaniments. Senator Dolph's acquaintance with and in quiries concerning the character of MT. Nix on have evoked such satisfactory replies that he is said to be much pleased with his pro spective son-in-law and has no regrets in the matter, even though Miss Dolph could have married man worth thirty million dollars. Miss Dolph has a literary turn of mind and naturally turned towards literary man. Mr. Nixon is poet as we'll as highly suc- cessful correspondent, and hopes soon to bring out volume of his poems. His moth CT has written a very sweet and lady-1ike let ter to Mrs. Dolph, inclosing one to her future daughter-in-law. MT. Nixon has a sister who is highly educated and accomplished Miss Dolph attracted much attention last year in Europe, where she was presented to Queen Victoria and was given dinner es- pecially in her honor at Paris by United States Minister McLane. She is the hand somest woman in Washington, is exceedingly clever and has been belle for year or two. The bride elect has been in New York for week with her mother, also very handsome woman, arranging for the trousseau. MT. Nixon also visited the metropolis to purchase his wedding outfit The wedding will be one of the events of the year at the capital. The Dolphs live in Washington nearly all the year around in an elegant mansion on Lafay- cite Park. MT. Nixon is the Washington correspondent of New Orleans paper

Progression.

The Santa Fe and others for all we
know, have caught the progression in
lection, but it is as yet in its infancy.
They have got the first step down pat,
which consists of having collector"
take up the tickets, giving a slip of
paper to each passenger, while the con-
ductor has nothing to do but see the
other fellow handle the scads. Its a
long felt want supplied, in part. When
this system gets in full order, after the
collector" will follow the inspector. "
His duties will be to see if the ''col-
lector" gave the right colored slip to
the passenger. Then will follow the
''detector" to ser if the inspector
noticed the holes punched by the ''col-
lectOr." Then will follow the "con-
hector" to fit in the bits of card board
punched out by the inspector" was
detected by the ''detector, 'and seen by
the inspector" and saved by the "col
lector." Thus it will go like the house
that Jack built until the protector"
comes with punch the size of a nickel.
When he has punched the ticket the
bit will be handed to the passenger who
will, by law, be compelled to state
thereon the starting and destination
points, amount paid, time of travel and
his mother-in-law's maiden name, and
mail it to headquarters, marking it R.

Yankee

There are comparatively few people
who kr i The origin or meaning OF tht
term - kee," by which we are &C.
custonl. more or less affectionately t.
designate our American cousins born il
the United States. In view of the ap
preaching American Exhibition of thu
arts, inventions, manufactures anC
products of the United States, to bt
held next year at Earl's Court, Kensing
ton, and which has already been nick
named in some quarters the Yankee
RES" it may be of interest to readers
to know what the wcrd means. When
the Pilgrim Fathers landed on Ply
mouth Rock the friendly Indians asked
Of what people they were, to which
query they replied, English" But
the red man could not twist his tongue
around that word, and "Yengeese'
was as near as he could get to it. Ii
was but a short time, and by a natural
and easy transition, before "Yengeese"
became transformed into yankees"
The use of this word also is peculiar.
The people of the southern states call
all northerners, both east and west,
yankees" as will be remembered by
those familiar with the great civil war.
The people of the western states call
only those living in the eastern states,
or east Of the Hudson river, Yankees"
and these are the only people who &C
knowledge the name, and also describe
themselves. On the other hand. all the
English colonists and the people of
Great Britain invariably call all citizens
of the United States Yankees" and
when abroad they cheerfully accept and
are generally proud of the title, which,
as we have seen, means and is only
corruption of the word English. y
